Chaleur Bay

On the southern side of the Gaspé Peninsula, Chaleur Bay is an ideal place to go swimming and enjoy water sports.

A seaside area offering many beaches, this sector is also bordered by mountains and is home to several rivers, including the crystal-clear Bonaventure. Enjoy a multitude of events and activities throughout this sector, from Shigawake to Pointe-à-la-Croix via Bonaventure, New Richmond and Carleton-sur-Mer.

Extraordinary Moments to Enjoy

Listen to the locals at the corner restaurant and chat with them at the end of a wharf. As you meet people, see if you can hear their distinctive local accents. If you speak French, you will undoubtedly be introduced to a few colourful expressions you have never heard before!
